    It ended up releasing to poor reviews

    Oh did it? I didn’t really look into review aggregation sites, but a lotr lore YouTuber I watched seemed to have liked it, though I wasn’t paying an enormous amount of attention.

    I am going to always be sceptical of reviews of games that are not on Steam because I know many gamers will pile on purely on that basis. And being attached to an IP like lotr, especially at a time when the Gollum game and Rings of Power recently released, and people were very ready to bash on anything new using the IP. Makes it very hard to judge based purely on numberical reviews, which is why I look for detailed reviews from people who’ve played the game and who I think will provide a good faith review.
